Blossom Fields Own Strictly Come Dancing!

Jenny & Terry

Jenny and Terry are regular visitors to our Blossom Fields care home in Winterbourne, Bristol and their graceful dancing is a pleasure to watch.

Bristol’s Strictly Come Dancing

Jenny and Terry not only display their wonderful dancing they are also fantastic with residents, and it is always wonderful to see them encouraging residents onto the dance floor. Everyone also loves that Jenny changes her stunning dresses which really does make it a show.

Blossom Fields’ Resident has Ballroom Background

Jenny and Terry’s most recent visit was made even more special as one of the home’s residents is a former ballroom dancer and she absolutely loved watching them dance. Afterwards she took the opportunity to have a chat with Jenny and Terry about dancing competitions. The Blossom Field’s team were also touched by this, they have worked hard to support this resident to enable them to sit in a chair. Moments like this are what working in care is all about.

Blossom Fields’ Lifestyle

Blossom Fields offer a wide range of activities and events, there really is something for everyone. To find out more about the importance of person-centred care please contact the team to arrange a tour of the home.

Catherine
Sales Manager

Catherine has worked in sales and marketing her whole career, after graduating with a degree in Textile Management she worked in Corporate Workwear for many years. Catherine’s first role in the care sector was working with a disability charity that ran nursing homes and enablement projects for young adults.

Catherine

While her two children were younger, she joined her husband in his estate agency, but was delighted to return to the care sector in 2020 and now cannot imagine doing anything else.

Catherine’s role with Allegra is to support residents and their families as they explore care options. Working with the teams in the individual homes she ensures that during every stage from initial enquiry through to moving in with us every question is answered, and we offer the reassurance needed for the next chapter in our resident’s life. It is important for our residents to remain part of the community in which will have lived for years, often all their lives, so the other part of this role is connecting with local community groups, charities and organisations.

Catherine has said that working for Allegra with their groundbreaking household model means we are offering a home with compassion and care whilst ensuring residents are retaining their independence and quality of life.

Out of work Catherine enjoys baking and gardening The children are older now, but still keep her busy!
